"Economy did an exceptional job and I would hire them when I need a handy man. They fixed my storm door, they painted my bathroom expertly and when I was stumped on to install a blind in my bathroom window and though they were in Greenwich, Ct (about 100 miles away) they came they installed the blind which I could not. I have their card and I will call them again on the next job I have to do.... Ronald Conti"
"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."
"I was very impressed with David's responsiveness and every member of his crew was a pleasure. They completely removed the kitchen floor (and several layers of subfloor) in my 100+ year-old home, made repairs to floor joists and installed new flooring that looks beautiful. It was an evolving project and I appreciated the team's flexibility and speed with which they completed the project."
"We hired Lasting Strength to tear down and build a new deck. Adam and his team of Marco and Danny were great to work with. They showed up on time, listened to our requests, and came in on budget. We also had them do various other odd jobs including re-grouting the shower tiles. All their work was expertly and beautifully done. And Adam was exceptional in finding solutions to challenging projects. We highly recommend them."
"Nixon responded quickly and was able to install a new back storm door for us. The only problem is that it looks nicer than the front door now! :) Excellent work! Hired him to do several projects at Mom's now!"
"I would highly recommend Bath Planet of CT. From the sales rep to the installers. The shower install exceeded my expectations. When the installation was complete, not only did they take all the old pieces of the shower with them, they even swept my staircase to ensure everything was clean. Again, I would highly recommend Bath Planet of CT."
"There is nothing this guy cant do. He does it all.And to perfection. Put in light fixture,hung wallpaper,framed a doorway,painted indoors and out. Fixed broken door changed shower door and made a frame for wall mounted fireplace. Just fantastic."
"We had our shower area replaced and the install took 1 day. The team was very knowledgeable and helpful and the shower was customized to my liking!! Would highly recommend !!"
"Owner Jose Angeles is an angel to work with. He was extremely dedicated to my bath remodeling project which required tub removal & a wall to wall shower installation that included the toilet. He was fastidious in detailing, communicative, Jose wants to please. Patient in laying down mosaic tiling, his crew cleans up each day and are timely every work day. Jose is an experienced GC and very resourceful in offering suggestions on the selection of various fixtures and or methods. Hands down I'd work with Jose again."
Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
Digital door locks are just one part of a whole-house security system. You can also install indoor and outdoor security cameras, door and window sensors, motion detectors, smart lighting, and smoke, fire, and CO detectors.
Remember, every home layout is different, and landscaping and custom designs can impact which security system parts offer the best protection from crime. Speak with a professional to help you decide which combination works best for your home’s security.
In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but home security systems also lower home insurance costs.
You can shield the area with a well cover. Start by selecting a sturdy, tamper-resistant, crystal-clear polycarbonate option. It will allow light into your basement while providing valuable protection. Ensure the cover is firmly anchored to the window well, creating a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. Regular maintenance checks are essential to keep these covers in optimal condition.
There are ample home security options available today outside of just window bars. Depending on your location, home’s layout, and needs, one or more types of home security systems may be necessary. You could consider doorbell cameras, motion-sensor flood lights, or window and door sensors. And in some cases, you may qualify for homeowners insurance discounts when you install one or more.
It is worth it to install window bars for a few reasons. Security bars can slightly increase the value of your home in the eyes of security-conscious homebuyers, especially if you're living in an area with a higher crime rate. You may also qualify for lower homeowners insurance premiums by installing security measures like window bars.
